I have one bt white phone box thing in my hallway which is the only box in the house. when i moved in a couple of months ago, a splitter was plugged into the white bt box, which then went round the house into my living room. on the end of that cable in the living room is another splitter. so basically we can have phone in living room and hallway.

Anyway, we have plugged our phone in both the sockets and it worked fine and also plugged in sky which also worked fine. but then suddenly today as i was installing my sky broadband it stopped working. because in our living room we have the SKY TV phone cable going into the splitter plus a microfilter in the splitter then the phone cable into the microfilter and the modem into the microfilter! it all worked fine then just suddenly stopped working.

And i have unplugged everything and plugged everything back in and i have just tried the phone being plugged into the splitter and there was no dial tone! so i went back to my hallway and unplugged the splitter that is plugged in there and plugged in my phone cable directly into the bt socket, which then gave me a dial tone!

So what i am wondering is what is the problem and what can i do to make it work! because now we can only have the phone in the hallway and nothing else at all in the living room or anything!

Please Help!

Thanks

Change both the splitters - they're very inexpensive.

Yeh but they are attached at both ends

Can't quite follow what you're doing, but it sounds wrong.

All you need to do is in the hallway plug a filter in between the phone and splitter (not between the splitter and the phone socket). In the living room plug a filter into the end of the extension cable and plug the splitter into the filter.

The ADSL modem can then be plugged into either one of the ADSL sockets on the 2 filters (hall or living room).

Any other combination will either not work at all or only partially work in a fashion.

sounds like a faulty cable,no matter how many filters and how they are arranged you should still get dial tone.
